1) An Alkalizing Green Soup to Help You Detox

Green soup is the perfect cleansing food for January after a holiday season of indulgences.

Anna Thomas, the author of Love Soup, is the creator of the original green soup — a basic, flavorful green elixir you can use as a template to create your own version, using kale, collard greens, chard, spinach, or whatever leafy greens you have on hand.

4) A Flavorful, Filling Winter Soup That Makes a Full Meal

This chunky, nutrient-rich soup combines three wintertime superfoods — beans, greens, and sweet potatoes — into a hearty and easy to make meal. Serve with a crusty bread for a satisfying wintertime meal that won’t weigh you down.

If you want, you can easily leave out the oil and use water or vegetable broth to cook the veggies instead.

6) An Indian-Spiced Cauliflower Lentil Stew

This hearty and aromatic stew is a one-bowl meal. Flavored with garlic, ginger, coriander, and turmeric, and laced with rich, fragrant coconut milk — this nourishing bowl of lentils, kale, and tender cauliflower will help you feel your best.

7) A Beautiful and Easy Black Bean Soup

8) A Decadent Plant-Based Broccoli “Cheese” Soup

This rich, creamy soup is so decadent you’d never know it’s made from whole plant foods. The base of vegetables and raw cashews creates a depth of flavor, as well as a luxurious, silky, smooth texture.

9) A Colorful Indian Soup You Can Make in 30 Minutes

This brilliant-hued and Indian-inspired creamy soup is packed with both flavor and nutrients. Beets have numerous health benefits, from lowering blood pressure and enhancing virility to improving exercise performance and reducing the risk of infections.

When you enjoy a bowl of this ruby-red soup, you don’t have to choose between flavor and health — you get both in one delicious bowl.

The recipe contains coconut oil and coconut sugar, but you can leave these ingredients out. If you’re oil-free, in order to help the spices stick to the chickpeas and brown, you can drain the beans without rinsing them — allowing the bean cooking liquid (also known as aquafaba) to cling to the beans.

This rich, savory noodle bowl is full of flavor, texture, and color, and takes less than 30 minutes to make. A base of ginger and sesame-scented miso broth is filled with buckwheat noodles, tofu, kale, and carrots, and is topped with fresh sprouts for a little crunch.

It’s the perfect nourishing meal to make when you’re feeling run down.

11) A Quick and Hearty Minestrone Soup That May Become One of Your Staple Winter Meals

Instant Pots are popular right now and for good reason. The multi-function appliance is a pressure cooker, slower, and rice cooker in one.

This minestrone soup has a slow-cooked flavor, but you can make it in less than an hour, using dried beans.

This recipe contains parmesan as an optional garnish, but you can also use this nut-based version to keep it plant-based. Or you may be able to find a good plant-based cheese in your local store, such as Violife’s Just Like Parmesan. You can also substitute the oil in the recipe with water or broth if you want to keep the recipe oil-free.
